[Survey] Can you tell which images are AI generated?
Hey everyone. I made a casual survey to see if people can tell the difference between human-made and AI generated art. Any responses would be appreciated, I'm curious to see how accurately people can tell the difference (especially those familiar with AI image generation)

Got 9/20.
That was a good selection of images, quite tricky.
I'm proud of getting both the LEGO minifig ones correct.
Another 9/20er here. I did feel like I was guessing a lot, it was almost satisfying to get such a midway score.
I also got 9/20, feeling certain about only a handful, and completely thrown off by others. Since all questions were yes/no, expected score would be 10/20, so my score correctly reflects that I had no real idea what was AI-generated or not. I expect the average score to be close to 10/20, skewed somewhat higher by those who might have a keen eye for some telltale signs of AI-trickery.
The one that got me was definitely the fruits, I didn't realize that AI was able to generate decent text yet lol
DALL-E 3 is the only model that gets text right. It usually yields consistent results but can still jumble on words if you ask it to say too much. It's a big step forward regardless.
That's incredible. I'm usually surprised when there's a single correct word.
I take issue with this because the devil is usually in the details with ai images and these are all low rez jpgs making it harder to tell with some of these.
Unfortunately it seems like google forms resizes the image to fit the forms. If I had known this before I would've used something else, but oh well. I've stretched the images as far as they can go now, which seems to be around 740x740.
True, but low rez web jpegs is a huge part of the market for images. AI will replace stock photos and that's incredibly disruptive on it's own.
Right? Are hands visible? Because those are a bear to get right
Well I got less than 50%, maybe I'm an AI. What is even real anymore!?
12/20, most of my mistakes were in saying human-made work was AI generated.
3/20. I almost got everything perfectly backwards!
10/20 but I'm a little annoyed that what looks exactly like a panel from Berserk is apparently AI generated... Feels like the training data might just be replicated in entirety there, either that or someone asked it to generate "Guts from Berserk" 😛
You can always notice AI based on the random belts on armor clad figures. It’s a neat belt, but why did it begin and end at the center of their chest?
I got real life ones correct, almost all paintings too (10 was tricky) but charcoal drawings are kinda impossible to guess.
10/20
same score here
10/20, got tricked by the horse in one of them, it looked really messed up, like something AI would make.
I guess the artist cant make horses
Cool test, thanks for putting this together! I got 8/20 - this essentially proved to me that for many cases, AI generation is not really distinguishable anymore.
I got 12/20 and most of the ones I got wrong are the ones I was second guessing myself on.
Detail plays a huge role in determining AI, and many of the pictures appear compressed which makes that criterion… difficult to consider. I’m not surprised that I got half right, regardless. The man on the bench really got me, why is his ankle thread-thin?
12/20, these new systems are way too good at what they do. With drawings it's basically impossible to tell unless there are obvious mistakes. And the mugshots are spot on too.
Wow, I got exactly half of them right. I reasoned my way through four of them–I assume AI can't handle refraction or reflection very well, so I reasoned that 1, 2, and 12 were all fakes. On 17, the scarf is too detailed to be a Lego piece.
Every other guess was vibes based, and on my vibes-based guesses I got 6/16
Questions 11, 12, and 20 we're all graded incorrectly as the correct answer contradicts the specified source.
Based on the automatic grading I got 12 out of 20. Based on the feedback / comments I got 15 correct.
I'm quite proud that within the human photographies I classified 100% correct but I guess it'll be impossible for me if the algorithms just improve a tiny little bit.
They were fixed after posting but that may be after you opened the link, answers should be good now.
I got all the “real life” pictures correct, but most of the drawings and paintings were in line with straight guessing.
There are things that stick out as “wrong” on a picture of life, but in a drawing or paining the question is “is this wrong or just what the artist decided to do?”
9/20 damnit, thought I'd be better at this
6/20 I am bad at this
Question 11 didn't have a correct answer.
Fixed, thanks for reporting.
13/20
11/20, I’m surprised. I thought I would do better at seeing that standard AI look and feel, but those other art aunties really threw me off. I wasn’t aware some of them could be generated from an AI so well!
AI generated photographs, or I guess AI generated images that are trying to appear photoreal are usually pretty easy to spot.
The stylized artistic ones are often really hard because you could have a human work of art that is trying to purposefully mimic an AI generator, which looks like the case with Strawberry Taiyaki Cat
8/20 here. Proud of getting some right. Really shocked about the answers to some!
A tricky test indeed
11/20 I feel slightly upset by the fact that it’s still a 50/50 coin flip for me which was which.
14/20
Cool survey.
Some of the similar ones i got the wrong way around, but i was quite happy with my answers for others where i was quite confident there were (to me) obvious indicators of AI and got them right.
14/20, nicely done! I will say, I maybe would have wanted to see more AI results than just from Dall-e 3, though given I still missed 6 of the, that speaks very highly of Dall-e 3's capabilities. But some midjourney and SDXL images would have made for a wider guessing selection too.
I agree. I've only been using Stable Diffusion so I was surprised to see it's lack of presence. I feel like half to ones I got wrong were because I'm too used to SD's quirks.
Dall-e has apparently gotten really damn good lately. The talking fruit in particular. Being context aware enough to create accurate speech bubbles is crazy neat. One huge step closer to AI comic books.
Got 7/20.
Those images are actually hard to distinguish for me. An eye opening experience.
Well, I did alright on the people, but I got almost all of the landscapes incorrect. I'll also admit to guessing on a number of them; if I had to explain exactly what I was basing my answer on for ones I said were AI, I'd have missed 2 more, because I just couldn't see anything that looked off, it was just a hunch.
Questions 12 and 20 seem to have incorrect answers. The correct answer is "no", but the comment says they were created by DALLE-3
Fixed both right before seeing this comment, I'm really not awake enough for this :P
15/20 - Nice survey, was quite tricky
I got 14/20. I am the real human that has gotten the high score. I am not a bot. Real human only.
The link doesn't work.
11/20
I have used SD so I can see some of the ai tell tale signs but haven't used Dall-E at all.
I got 13.
